About the role
We are seeking a Cloud Engineer to join the cloud infrastructure team of a large healthcare/hospital system. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on strengthening and expanding the organization’s Azure environment, addressing existing infrastructure and security gaps, and helping establish more consistent cloud engineering practices. The ideal candidate will be comfortable jumping into an existing environment, troubleshooting issues, provisioning infrastructure, and working closely with cloud architecture, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams. This person will also help improve Infrastructure-as-Code and automation practices while providing technical guidance to internal team members.
Responsibilities:
- Provision and configure Azure subscriptions, servers, networking, and cloud services
- Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code technologies
- Investigate and remediate vulnerabilities and configuration issues identified through cloud security tooling
- Work closely with cybersecurity teams to resolve cloud security findings and improve the organization’s overall security posture
- Troubleshoot existing Azure infrastructure and remediate issues from previous cloud deployments
- Support new cloud initiatives as the organization continues to expand its Azure footprint
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and standardized cloud delivery practices
- Assist with AWS workloads and infrastructure as needed
- Develop documentation, deployment procedures, and operational best practices
- Work closely with internal Cloud Engineers and Cloud Architects
- Provide hands-on mentoring and knowledge transfer to less experienced members of the cloud team
Qualifications:
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure
- Experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure in enterprise environments
- Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code, with Terraform preferred
- Experience with Azure networking, compute, identity, security, and infrastructure services
- Ability to troubleshoot complex cloud infrastructure issues independently
- Experience with cloud security, vulnerability remediation, or security findings is highly preferred
- Familiarity with CI/CD and cloud automationAWS experience is a plus
- Healthcare or other highly regulated industry experience is a plus
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across infrastructure, security, and architecture teams
- Ability to work independently and become productive quickly in an existing environment
What You’ll Be Working OnThe immediate priority for this role is to close gaps identified through cloud vulnerability tooling and remediate issues within existing Azure environments. At the same time, the engineer will support new cloud initiatives and help establish more repeatable approaches to infrastructure provisioning, IaC, automation, and CI/CD.This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on cloud engineering and problem solving, rather than a purely architectural or strategic role. The engineer will have a direct impact on cloud security, infrastructure reliability, and the continued development of the organization’s cloud environment.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
